EDITORIAL
The third issue of the Phonographic Bulletin includes a Tentative List of Discographies, Record Catalogues, etc., compiled by Claes M. Cnattingius. As Mr. Cnattingius explains in his Prefatory Notes the idea of this list occurred for the first time during the Association Internationale des Bibliotheques Musicales meeting in Leipzig 1970. Now that Mr. Cnattingius has made an attempt to prepare it, we hope on behalf of both the AIBLM ad IASA that many readers of the Bulletin will help us to make the list into a more complete edition. Apart from the work done by Mr. Cnattingius himself, the list was prepared with the great help of his secretary and members of the staff of the documentationcentre SFW.
This issue also contains another article about oral history by Mrs. Joke Rijken, followed by a list of institutional and individual members of IASA. This list contains only those members who paid their dues!
The next issue of the Bulletin will be published shortly before the Bologna Conference starts (September 9, 1972). It will contain articles about sound archives in various countries. The board of IASA will forward registration forms for the Bologna Conference as soon as possible. -2-
PREFATORY NOTES
Claes M. Cnattingius, Head Record Library, Sveriges Radio, stockholm, Swede n.
The idea of an international bibliography of discographies and record catalogues was first brought up at the AIBM meeting in Leipzig 1970. During the congress in St. Gallen the following year an outline was presented and accepted at a joint session with the AIBM Phonotheque Commission and the IASA. It was then agreed that the members should supply the necessary additions. The respond to this appeal was unfortunately rather poor. The information actually provided was very valuable, however, and I wish to express my gratitude to colleagues from most parts of the world for their contributions.
Information is still lacking from many countries, e.g. Spain, the Soviet Union, Latin America, the African and Asian countries, etc. The present list can thus only be characterized as a tentative one, and much more information is needed. It is therefore my hope that all readers will contribute to making it as complete and accurate as possible so that a new, more complete edition can be published.
The present list comprises five sections. The first part lists only what could be called "attempts" to realize more or less complete national discographies while the second part contains current national catalogues etc. The third part presents a choice of record catalogues from single institutions or record companies. This list only comprises regular, printed catalogues. This is the only section which is listed alphabetically, all the others by countries (listed alphabetically by their English names). The fourth section comprises only a choice of all periodicals and journals containing reviews etc. of new recordings. Publications with short notes about new recordings or those containing only irregular reviews have been omitted. The final section contains miscellaneous and I am convillced that many more could be included here.
Apart from the five main sections accepted by the members of the AIBM Phonotheque Commission, I have endeavoured to include two supplementary lists containing the addresses of record manufacturers listed in the Schwann catalogue, together with a list of manufacturers not listed in that pUblication.
All additions and corrections will be gratefully received under the following address: Claes M. Cnattingius, Head Record Library, Sveriges Radio, S-105 10 Stockholm, Sweden. -3-

THE INTERVIEW AS A HISTORICAL METHOD
Joke MoSa R~jken9 Head Sound Archives Stichting Film en Wetenschap?Utrecht
The follow~ng pages deal with the historical interview, ioe. the so called Oral History. Something will be said on the why of this type of interview, on the kind of information we may expect, an~ finally something on the validity of this information.
It has ,however, to be mentioned beforehand, that historians who want to use interviews in their research, not have to rely on the historical interview (= an interview made by a historian) only. There is for instance very flne material made by people from other disciplines (sociologists, folklorists) and by journalists of radio and tv. In general, radio and tv material is wanted more and more by social scientists o This demand from the universities is already recognized by the various broadcasting corporations~ On both sides the notion is
alive that there should be a form of cooperation 9 which
seems 9 however, very hard to establisho In the first issue of the IASA- Phonographic Bulletin Dro Rolf Schuursma told about the way of cooperation between the Dutch radio corporations and the Sound Archives of the Foundation for Film and Science in Utrecht. Perhaps some other IASA member might tell us of developments in his country or give us his views on this matter in order to help us to overcome the existing difficulties o Let us now return to the historical interview, a problem which belongs to historians at first.
1 Why historical interviews?
An experienc~Lpractioner of historical interviews reckoned that the deliverance of one hour tape costs l totallY9 40 hours of preparation 9 transcription and indexing. Why should the historian use this time consuming and expensive method instead of staying with the written documents he i~· used to?
Thi~ article is based on a talks given at the conference li The historian and the av mediat!g held at S ichting Film en We tenschap9 April 1971. As to literature~ I like to ment~on the Proceedings of the national colloquia of the Oral History Associat~on (USA). and espec~ally the contrj.bution of N. Reingo1d 9 given a t t he colloquium of
19690 (Reingo1d 9 No A critic looks at ora.l hi "1tn-r" (G.Pu Colman 9 ado) pp 213-223. Oral Histo r y Association. NellJ York) 0 -29- The answer is that the historical interview is an effort to fill gaps in written records. As a matter of fact the historian has to decide which gaps will be fil1ed o Generally there are two ways of choosing: he may attempt to find the lacking bits and pieces of the jig-saw puzzle his research is trying to compose, or may be more interested, apart from direct research needs, in the production of new source material on subjects that show an evident lack of documentatione In the first case the historical interview can be seen as a part of the historical research, as a research method. This type of interview tends to be rather specialised and there is a big chance that it will be of slight interest to historians who don't work on the same subject. There is another reason why other historians might not be very interested in the interview itself: the results of the interview will be incorporated in the final product of the research and thus be published. As to the second case, there are many fields indeed that are largely bereft of conventional documentation, for instance the lives of the unknown, the poor, the massmen. Generally these people appear in the records as statistics only. What do we know about their fears and angers, their problems, their attitude towards other groups and to society? They don't have the means to ventilate their views 9 therefore someone has to go out ans ask them. I think this type of historical interview extremely important and I see a special task for the nowadays historian to organize historical interview documentation projec ts for the creation of new sources. Of course these two aspects of the historical interview (research method/source creation) are not so polarized as I have put it now. It isn't as if there were historians who want to do a lot of preparation only to create a new source for a future historian's pleasure. We should 9 however 9 realize that the main purpose for which the interview is held, cannot but influence the method of interviewing and thus the outcome of the interview. Interviewing for source creation demands a different attitude than interviewing for immediate research needs. The former requires a lengthy interview, the lat t er can do with a more question-answer type of interviewo I would like that the research interviewers, having taken trouble, time and expen~ to interview somebody, seize the opportunity to get more information than they are interested in at that moment o They should keep in mind that the views of the interviewee m~ght b e of interest for (future) sociologists, social-psychologists or historians who work in other fields that they do. Practice has shown already that there is a multiple use for the interviewmaterial. -30- Let me give an example. Last year the Foundation for Film and Science was enriched with a series of interviews with assembly line factory workers. The interviews were conducted by a political scientist~ who was collecting material for a tv programme on today's factory workers 1 working conditions. He stored the interviews in our Sound Archives for further scientific use, and now a research institute for social health i s using them in a study on the growing sick leave of factory workers . Further two students in social psychology are studying the material for a thesis in which the at.ti.tu::le towards work of today's factory workers will be compared with that of factory workers in the thirties. Besides the history of the unknown, there are various other gaps in written records o Take for instance the opposite of the unknown: the great personalities, of whom exists a lot of documentation, only not yet available. Many important documents are classified for reasons of national security or for other reasons, and are therefore consigned with a special archival limbo . To circumvent this the historian may resort to personal interviews. The documents may have been stamped Iftop-sec:r'et , the authors of the documents are not. There are other fields in which the historical interview may contribute. At different levels in society there are people (unionleaders, civil servants, partyleaders, members of parliament) who have a lot of information, because they are involved in decisionmaking processes. The pity is t hat they are either too busy or just not inclined to make , notes or write diaries on what is happening . So only the final decision and the official points of view appear in the written records, not the decisionmaking process itself. 2 0 What kind of information can we expect from the historical interview? The writ t en record, when classified some day, will tell that on a certain day a decision was made, and briefly the conte nts of that decision, but not the decisionmaking process itself with all its antagonisms, doubts and debates 9 which reveal the real problem of that situat ion bett er than the final resolution would do. In contrast with his written material, the interviewer can a s k his informant the why and wherefore. As to the character of the information we can say that the inter viewer who expects to find detailed accounts, will be dis appointed very quickly, even when the int erview is made rather shortly after the events he is studying 9 took place. -31- People are likely to forget details rather easily, especially toplevel people, for whom the flow of work is unrelenting o People who were too busy at the time, won't recall details when interviewers ask them about later. Minor officials, involved in a few matters? often remember better in their particular field~ But apart from that~ it is just the detail that is often kept very well in written records, which is the source of accurate 9 precise information. Some historians tend to be somewhat overenthousiastic about the results of the interview 9 and they neglect therefore the value of written sources, especially at this point. The key for a succesful interview is preparation, doing your homework& After that the historian can do the next step: ask complementary factual information and, especially, ask questions which may lead to an explanation of, or to links between information found in written sources. Among historians the method of the historical interview is already recognized as a help in gathering of historical information, but this cannot be said of many products of this method. The main criticism is that interviews just only double already existing information or collect vague and superficial information. The former is due to insufficient research in written records, the latter results from insufficient awareness of the limitations of the interviewmethod o If one asks precise details, one gets vagueness, unless the question is raised at the situation of that moment itself, which will not happen very often. A very special information the interview can provide is that about the personality of the interviewee himself, which might be very useful in understanding why he acted as he did. It is almost impossible not to reveal oneself in a talk that lasts for one, two hours. The interviewee gives not only entrance to a past event, but also to himself, to his character, beliefs and values. Further there is that special quality of a sound record: the human voice with all its expressions, which makes a tape of an interview more valuable than a transcript. Of course this dimension is less important with interviews than with speeches that are purposely conceived to be listened at, but still the human voice gives the interview that something extra which might be meaningful especially with people who are not used to or not able to transfer their thoughts into neatly formulated sentences. The meaning of the sound dimension, however, will always be subject to interpretation and will therefore va~ralong with the listener. J. What is the validity of the information we get from the historical interview? Generally this depends on the time when the interview is made~ shortly or long after the event: the shorter the -32- time the less distorted the information. Many interview projects9 follow the biographical approach, which mostly means that already retired people are questioned. Thus the interview produces a kind of memoir, with the difference that the interviewer has the opportunity to conduct the interview and to lead his informant on paths he would never have trodden on from his own. However, the disadvantages of the memoir-aspect remain. To what extent is the given information reliable? As a matter of fact the historian has to prepared to deal with the deterioration of memory. This does not only mean that an amount of facts are simply forgotten, but also that facts and especially views have been modified. In memory a big role is played by what is called social conformity. Many people re-read in history what others afterwards tell them that happened. The social conformity is not limited to the fields of facts, it is even more at work in the field of beliefs and attitudes, which provide the frame of reference for the evalua.ion ~what is happening. Some people have gone through a change in their belief and attitude system, others don't. The historian should bear in mind that what comes out from an interview, varies according to when you ask the question. An interview is held at a particular point in time, and the interviewee looks back with eyes, filtered from that point in time. The least what the interviewer can do is to check what happened to the interviewee during the time between the interview and the events he wants to question. Further social conformity plays also a role during the interview itself. An interview is a social situation and must be seen as just one of the many situations in which an informant may reveal information. The personality of the interviewer is extremely important in this social situation. By the presentation of himself, his manners, the way he is putting his questions, he influences the outcome of the interview. It has to be part of his training to become sensitive to different social environ ments and to know how to react to all sorts of personalities within all sorts of situations. At least it is hardly to say that the interviewer should not forget that he is getting the informant's picture and not the truth. As conclusion we might say that, following the biographical approach, we can expect to get a lot of falsification out of the historical interview. On the other hand the historian has the data he can check this memory against. Besides. the inaccuracy and the falsification given by the informant, can be very valuable for the interpretation of the data. Still it is clear that the val~dity of the informat ion increases when the interval of time between the interview and the events which are questioned, diminishes. Especially when the first intention of an -33- interview is to produce a new historical document, we better occupy ourselves with subjects which are contemporary indeed and make interviews with people who don't have to rely on their memory too much, but who still are in direct touch with the matters we are studyingo -34- MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUND ARCHIVES JUNE 1"'" ' ~1 '~ INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS: Archives publiques du Canada, Ottawa, Canada; Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Mlinchen, Western Germany; Boston University Libraries, Boston, U.S.A.; British Broadcasting Corporation, London, England; University of California, Berkeley,U.S.A.; University of California, Los Angeles, U.S.A.; Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Montreal, Canada; Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, U.S.A.; Columbia University, Oral History Resear~h Dept., New York, UoS.A.; Cornell University, Ithaca, U.S.A.; Denmarks Radio, Copenhagen, Denmark; Deutsche Bibliothek, Berlin, Western Germany; Donemus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Finnish Broadcasting Corporation, Helsinki, Finland; Hessischer Rundfunk, Frankfurt am Main, Western Germany; University of Illinois, Urbana, UoS.A.; Imperial War Museum, London, England; Indiana University, Bloomington, D.S.A.; State University of Iowa City, D.S.A.; Det Kongelige Bibliothek, Copenhagen, Denmark; Kungl Musikaliska Akademiens i.?i::.Liothek, Stock~lo1m, Sweden; Library of Congress, Washington, UoS.A.; Musee National des Arts et Traditions populaires, Paris, France; Nationaldiskoteket, Lyngby, Denmark; Nationalfonoteket, Stockholm, Sweden; National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland; Nederlandse Omroep Stichting, Hilversum, The Netherlands; Norsk Rikskringkasting, Oslo, Norway; University of Pfnlsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia, D.S.A.; Princeton University, Princeton, U.S.A.; University of Rochester, Rochester, U.S.A.; Theater Klank en Beeld, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; United Nations, New York, U.S.A.; University of Washington, Seattle, U.S.A.; -35- INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS: Adler 9 Dr~ 1o, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel; Beskow Tainsh, Mrs. K., Swedish Broadcasting, Stockholm, Sweden; Bloch, MIle F., Phonotheque Nationale, Paris, France; Burgis, Po, Hornsby, Australia; Cernik, Dr. B., Radio-Studio Basel, Switserland; Clare, La, Lo, Public Archives of Canada, ottawa, Canada; Cnattingius, CoM., Sveriges Radio, Stockholm, Sweden; Eichenberger, E., Bern, Switserland; Fedorov 9 V., La Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, France; Furst 9 Po, United Nations, New York, UoS.A.; Hardie, Prof. R.Ho, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, DoS.A.; Herzog, A.Y.
